PSYCHIC VIEW: Silicon Transplant

Dear CS,

Your whole life is supposed to be about having adventures and the issue you're dealing with now is fear. Your job provides money but you feel like an imposter doing it. You overcompensate by doing more than is expected of you to maintain this false persona. No wonder your boss loves you. At some point the overachiever in you has to take a vacation so the more spiritual/purposeful you can evolve. This phase in your life is about what will bring you fulfillment, not what lets someone else realize his or hers.

What you do now is not what you love. At some point soon (I'm thinking February), you'll let go of everything—your job, Las Vegas, and those false relationships that just give you an excuse to stay where you are. I agree with you: It's time you decided to be happy, and whatever you need to do to live that way, you must do it. That means letting go of anyone or anything that keeps you trapped in the past. It's time to take off your mask.

God has not let you down. He/She is waiting for you to realize you have everything available to live the life you want to live with your own potential and resources. My view of God is that He/She takes a backseat in most people's lives and we occasionally get a glimpse through a coincidence, a dream, or miracle. It's truly up to each person, in spite of their upbringing, intelligence or situation, to have enough faith in themselves to find their way. Remember, you're perfect just the way you are, and at some point in your life you won't need to hear that from anyone.

Most decisions I make are based on how I might look at my life now from the perspective of a distant future. In my advanced years, I see myself sitting on a sunny porch with a view of water, telling a young person about what I don't regret: I don't regret becoming a licensed psychic in Las Vegas and the opportunity to help people recognize their potential to be greater than they are right now. This is not about failure or success, it's about doing as much as you can with what you have, whether you think God exists or not.

Your next step is to decide your life. Write down everything you want to have in this lifetime, starting with your emotional state. Then believe that your opportunity will come to you as a result of something very stressful at your current job. The next opportunity for you is connected with a man who is very accomplished, with dark hair and dark eyes. This man will be your "Donald Trump" and mentor you toward your own business.

Everything changes for you in the next seven weeks if you give yourself permission for that change—the decision is all up to you. Act as though your new life is already a part of your current one. Pretend (if you must) you've chosen this current scenario as your springboard to something more gratifying.

Remember, one of two things happens when it's time for change: We're either offered something so fabulous that we have to act, or we're made so uncomfortable that we have to act. Your intuition is correct—it's time for change.
